Area shadows from 2d shapes using ray - grid intersection. Breakdown images in the thread.

#UnrealEngine
The intersection function is a simplified, 2d version of the box intersection function found in the engine. When you want to do this in a loop, its a good practive to precompute the inverse ray direction. Image
This is the actual material. The intersection function is called in a loop, to advance the ray through the grid (pixels of the texture). Image

Particle occlusion using scene depth from a cubemap. This is basically the same idea as how you would do shadows for a point light. Breakdown in the thread. 👇

#UnrealEngine #UE4 #UE5
Material setup: Image
A scene capture cube can be used to capture a depth map at the time of spawning the particle. Then the cubemap depth can be used to mask particles out per pixel or per sprite.
